Episode notes
Diversify Globally Beyond MAG-7
- Diversify your investments internationally to reduce risk and improve resilience.
- Avoid focusing solely on US tech stocks like the MAG-7 and include overseas assets.
Geographic Equity Diversification & Gold
- Allocate around half of your equity portfolio outside the US across Europe, Japan, China, and emerging markets.
- Include a small allocation to gold, and young investors should be all in on equities for long-term growth.
Long-Term Investors Go All Equities
- Investors with a long time horizon (25+ years) should focus mostly on equities and avoid bonds.
- Younger investors can ride out market cycles and afford higher stock-like risks.
